Chattogram, Apr 30 - A lighter vessel coming from a dockyard due to strong current got stuck with the almost century-old Kalurghat Bridge over Karnaphuli River after hitting it in Chattogram on Tuesday afternoon.

On information, Eastern Railway’s engineer Jisan Dutta and the contractor organization engaged in the repair of the bridge visited the spot.
Jisan said, “We are inspecting the matter. Then we can tell what kind of damage has been done.”
He also said they would talk to the ship's authorities. - UNB
